+# v1.1.0 — Stack release (Loop + Goal)
+
+**Loops discover work on a cadence. Goals finish bounded tasks.**
+
+This release cross-links with [Loop Engineering v1.5.0](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/releases/tag/v1.5.0) — the discovery layer (`loop-sync`, `loop-constraints`, MCP server) pairs with this repo's finish layer (`/goal`, `goal-verifier`, G0→G3).
+
+## Quickstart — the stack
+
+```bash
+# Morning: loop triage
+npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . --pattern daily-triage --tool grok
+npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest
+
+# Afternoon: finish top item from STATE.md
+npx @cobusgreyling/goal init . --pattern fix-bug --tool grok
+npx @cobusgreyling/goal doctor . --suggest
+```
+
+In Grok Build:
+
+```
+/goal Read STATE.md top priority. Done when verifier PASS. goal-verifier before completed: true.
+```
+
+## What's in this repo
+
+| Tool | Command |
+|------|---------|
+| **goal** (meta CLI) | `npx @cobusgreyling/goal doctor . --suggest` |
+| goal-audit | `npx @cobusgreyling/goal-audit . --json --min-level G2` |
+| goal-init | `npx @cobusgreyling/goal-init . --pattern tests-green --tool grok` |
+| goal-cost | `npx @cobusgreyling/goal-cost --pattern fix-bug` |

+Production setups often use **both**. [Loop Engineering v1.5.0](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/releases/tag/v1.5.0) ships the discovery layer (`loop-sync`, `loop-constraints`, MCP server); this repo ships the finish layer (`/goal`, `goal-verifier`). Full day rhythm: [stack-cookbook.md](stack-cookbook.md).

 1. **Loop** runs daily triage → writes priorities to `STATE.md`
 2. Human or loop picks top item → **`/goal`** for run-until-done execution
